There's singing in Manchester.

Our old blog friend Manfred Allseasons works in Manchester, and he emailed me about how the crowd there in St Ann’s Square sang "Don't Look Back in Anger" (1996) by Oasis (a Manchester band) today after the one-minute nationwide silence, honoring the 22 people killed in the Manchester Arena bombing. He wrote, it was "a very, very Mancunian thing to do.... i love this city."

"Slip inside the eye of your mindDon't you know you might findA better place to play?You said that you'd never beenBut all the things that you've seenThey slowly fade away

"So I'll start a revolution from my bedCause you said the brains I had went to my headStep outside, summertime's in bloomStand up beside the fireplaceTake that look from off your faceYou ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

Quote of the Moment

“We are not angels, we are merely sophisticated apes. Yet we feel like angels trapped inside the bodies of beasts, craving transcendence and all the time trying to spread our wings and fly off, and it’s really a very odd predicament to be in, if you think about it.”
